Patent AU-6432798-A (AU)
Title: Method and apparatus for total energy fuel conversion systems
Inventor: ENNIS BERNARD P
IPC: F02C3/36
Filed: 1997-12-23
Abstract: An independent and conserved source of fuel and/or power comprises a top stage rocket engine firing up to 5000 F at very high pressures, delivering jet flows up to transonic velocities into a near adiabatic tunnel for mixing in general and/or for transforming reactants introduced to suit specific objectives. The related compression is supplied by an independent prime mover which compresses its exhaust and other recoverable fluids. Low grade flows, thereby upgraded in temperature and pressure, are adiabatically contained, are further upgraded in the tunnel to become part of the prescribed fuel for export at the tunnel ends; or fuel to be fired in a prime mover for electric or other power, or hydrogen for chemical use. Expansion turbines for this purpose are relieved of the load used to compress the excess air in standard gas turbines thus increasing export power. A portion of the expansion turbine's exhaust becomes part of recoverable fluids. When oxygen is used instead of air, the gases through turbines are nitrogen-free with more heat capacity reducing turbine inlet temperatures for the same power. When reactant transfonnation is specified, the larger water vapor content in the cycle enhances the water gas/shift autothermally for ammonia and/or power and alternatively for pyrolysis cracking for olefins and diolefins. Further, staging rocket engine reactors increases efficiency in boilers and steam turbines; and staging can produce sponge iron and/or iron carbide as well as expansion turbine power and fuel cells for peak and off-peak loads,

Patent AU-6466494-A (AU)
Title: Two and three wire utility data communications system
Inventor: BRENNAN WILLIAM J JR
IPC: H04L69/14
Filed: 1994-06-10
Abstract: A two wire/three wire utility data communications system for remotely reading utility meter registers. In the two wire version, a hand-held reading unit is inductively coupled over two wires via a port located remotely from a meter register. Alternatively, a meter interface unit (MIU) may be connected directly to the register via three wires. Each register includes one or more wheel position encoders. An AC interrogation signal is applied by the reading unit to encoder circuitry at the meter which powers the circuitry and causes the position of each encoder wheel to be read. In the two wire mode, register display information (e.g. the current meter reading) is transmitted back to the reading unit by varying the load (impedance) presented by the register side of the circuit. This causes a corresponding variation of the amount of current drawn from the reading unit. The current-modulated signal is decoded by the reading unit and converted into a register reading. The system can also operate in a three wire mode and read older fourteen wire encoded registers. Other features include remote programmability of register characteristics, the ability to interrogate multiple registers which share a common data bus, verification of encoder wheel positions before accepting a reading, real-time flow rate/leak detection, pulse output, and the capability of reading compound meters (i.e. meters having two registers to separately measure high/low flow rates). <IMAGE>

Title: Magnetised transducer element for torque or force sensor
Inventor: MAY LUTZ AXEL
IPC: G01L3/10
Filed: 2000-08-14
Abstract: A magnetic torque transducer for a structure such as a disc through which torque is transmitted between a central shaft to which the disc is mounted and an outer periphery such as a gear wheel. The intervening region through which torque is transmitted is magnetized to provide a transducer element having two magnetized, annular regions which cooperate to emanate a magnetic field that is torque-dependent. The two magnetized regions may be longitudinally-magnetized through the disc or circumferentially magnetized with opposite polarities. A sensor assembly of non-contacting sensors is used to detect the emanated field and connected in circuitry to provide a torque-dependent signal. In an alternative a single magnetized annular region is employed. The annular region or regions need not be a complete annulus. The same disc-like structure can also be used as force sensor for measuring bending moments or other forces which result in stress occurring in the disc.

Title: Improvements in or relating to methods of screening substances
Inventor: RUSSELL STEPHEN JAMES
IPC: G01N33/50
Filed: 1996-08-05
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of screening substances for reduced ability to bind to a specified target molecule. The method involves the display of a first member of a specific binding pair ("sbp") on the surface of a viral display package, and contacting the viral display package with a target cell expressing a receptor molecule and the second member of the sbp in such a way that viral display packages displaying first members of the sbp which have been altered so as to inhibit binding to the second member of the sbp tend to infect target cells more successfully than those display packages displaying first members of the sbp which have unaltered binding affinity for the second member of the sbp. Also disclosed is a kit for use in performing the method of the invention.
